Subject: DID YOU KNOW?
From: Anne Burnell



You're receiving this as an internal memo from one CCP member to all others....
DID YOU KNOW? 
On the new website there are many resources: 57 shows to be booked, 40 CDs, 26 calendar events in September in a pandemic, even one on the music business! There are 81 retirement centers, 48 libraries and community centers, and 68 venues, and wealth of information in the Quarter Notes. Many of you are sending emails about your upcoming events or sharing a song!  
 
Life isn't normal now, but there will be shows, just done a little differently. Many of you are revamping, learning, writing, you are singing outside, in open mics, and in virtual shows.  We hope you are staying safe, and also keeping your chops up, "woodshedding" as it is called in the jazz world. You never know what opportunity may be around the corner.
 
Let people find you by uploading your Directory listing and Member profile. There are only 26 members on there now -- all the rest are invisible.  You decide which items to make public or private. If you need help with this, please contact Cathy Glickman who has offered to help at education@chicagocabaret.org. 
 
There is a show hosted by Reneé Fleming every Tuesday at 4pm called Music and the Mind.  This week was particularly touching as it dealt with Parkinson's.  About halfway through there was a study about how singing actually helped the ability to swallow in these patients. We know how it makes our hearts feel, but tune in and hear the science behind our chosen art. I believe you will find ideas and inspiration. https://www.kennedy-center.org/whats-on/festivals-series/sound-health/music-and-the-mind/
 
Let's keep the music going,
